It has already been addressed with tests, that 130201_10_02_00 is neither for ASM1042, nor the last version. The last version for ASM1042 is 130125_00_02_00 and the last version for ASM1042A is 140124_10_10_04 posted by Fernando.

Speaking of ASM1042, I have found recently a 130125_00_02_01 version, that does appear to be an upgrade. I have also found for ASM1042A a version 130704_10_02_0D as opposed to regular 130704_10_02_01, but luckily Fernando has posted a newer one. The problem is it has been extracted from a mainboard, thus the header and footer is missing. I can reconstruct it, this time I know more about the difference between 1042 and 1042A. But I can't guarantee that it will work, nor do I know if it was a fix for that board alone. If I'm wrong, you won't be able to use your controller without a hardware re-flash.

Hi guys,I have an Asus-X79 Deluxe MB, the USB3 controller is an asmedia 1042a.I have issues with my usb3, so I would like to update this controller.Unfortunately, I'm not able to backup or update the firmware.I can launch 104xfwdl /d, but I'm not abble to launch 104xfwdl /a, I have a "Read from id failed..." message.Any help would be appreciate.|addpics|1yk-1-e8ec.jpg,1yk-2-3992.jpg|/addpics|

This sounds like the chip is not in the list of supported IDs. What package did you run, so I can verify what version of flasher it has? The first post of this thread has a newer flasher that should work for all ASM104x variations. But be very careful not to flash it on ASM1042 controllers, only on ASM1042A controllers. The latest firmware for your controller has been uploaded by Fernando and there is an already made package in this post.

I've tried this package: f13t375p5588n7.rar which contains testDOS.bat and testWIN.bat.All of them fail !I don't want to flash as long as I'm not able to backup my current firmware ;)EDIT: I've just tried with Fernando's package but no way, the /a command fails with the same message than the attached one.
